I wonder... do you know what .+ means? (I'm taling about greedy vs non-greedy)...

And why do you want to use another regex in the first place? if your first one prints what you expect?

And why do you even botter posting a message before leaving?
I doubt that any one will still be looking at the node when you come back from your vacation... which means that if you have other questions about it you need to repost it... and/or that others have to re-look at the problem. IMHO both of those things are bad.

Update: to clear up my re-posting point: If you still have troubles (when you came back) with the same regex/the same code (or wanted to reply to a comment), then you would have to re-post the question, since almost noone (or atleast that's what I believe) looks back at nodes that are over a week old... But ofcourse all this is irrelevant now.
